Can Newborns Clearly See the Vaginal Opening?

Question

Can newborns clearly see the vaginal opening?

Answer

The upper part of the labia is the urethral opening, the lower part is the vaginal opening, and behind it is normal skin, followed by the anal opening. There is skin separating the anal opening from the vaginal opening. If a newborn cannot see the vaginal opening, it may be necessary to perform a surgical separation of the labia minora to address the issue of labial adhesion. Severe anomalies are usually not associated with anal rectal anomalies. Therefore, it is recommended to visit a specialized hospital for examination.
